Brilliant moves by PM. His provinces KP and Punjab continue with whatever they call it backed by the boys. Because they see the benefit in it.

PM continues his campaigning that the pain you are suffering isn’t my fault. I am on your side.

Win-win

It’s PM vs rest of country. In terms of who are really managing the day to day operations. His fan club would continue to see him as a visionary but those who have to deliver on the ground are making the trade offs and will pay the political cost for it.
